Chapter 244: really not worth it

Emperor Yuande also realized that he had lost his sense just now, and sat down on the dragon chair for a while before finally giving his order.

Basically, let the people from the capital yamen and public security go to find the old beggar, and ask to treat each other with courtesy as much as possible after discovering the other party. As for the original Taishi Sitianjian, the old emperor finally did not mention it. to him.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuande felt exhausted physically and mentally, and had no interest in staying in the hall any longer. He said "retreat" to the old **** beside him with a sullen expression, and stood up first.

"Retreat ~~~~"

After the old **** announced the decree loudly, he quickly followed the emperor. In the state of the old emperor, he was really afraid that he would fall.

The courtiers below all talked a lot after the emperor left, and the mages also looked at each other in dismay. The position of "Heavenly Master" that should have been canonized today has not been fulfilled, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

Anyway, no one touched this brow and raised their opinions. The officials of the Ministry of Rites and those who were counting on the position of "Heavenly Master" did not dare to mention it.

It doesn't matter if the wizards have some real skills, or they are also surprised by the old beggar's decapitation and resurrection. After all, the old beggar had no intention of being a mortal before, and they almost all thought he was a liar. An unfathomable master.

"Master Lu, do you think that old beggar is really a fairy?"

"That's not clear." "Hmph, the rumors confuse the public."

"Master Xiao, what do you think of this situation?"

"Look at what?"

"Why didn't the emperor let Mr. Yanchang go?"

"Hey……"

Some courtiers shook their heads or sighed and left the hall one after another.

And the four guards in front of the temple were still kneeling in the temple as if they had been forgotten by everyone.

King Jin took a few steps slowly and looked at the four of them. Seeing that the people in the hall were leaving, and his elder brother had already left, he hesitated for a while, and finally spoke to the four.

"You all go down too, the royal father won't blame you."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Jin!" "Thank you His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Several guards in front of the hall stood up and saluted Jin King Yang Hao gratefully. Only at this time did they really breathe a sigh of relief, and they felt that they should have no worries about their lives.

This companion is like a tiger, and they deeply felt it today.

. . .

In the Prison of Xingbu, Yan Chang didn't suffer much abuse. He was detained in a fairly clean cell with a brick bed, covered with some straw, a mat and a low table.

At this moment, Yan Chang had been removed from the government and changed into a prison uniform, and sat on the bed with his back against the wall, also with a declining expression.

"Hey... Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people, it's a pity that the emperor has no mercy... Hehe, I'm not sure I Yanchang is already a high-ranking official in the hearts of many people..."

Counting the time, the old beggar should have been beheaded.

Let's talk about complaining, Yan Chang does complain a little bit about the old beggar, but I really want to hate it. After thinking about it, it seems that it was the old beggar who he recommended, and then brought the disaster of killing to the other party...

"Hey……"

After being locked up in prison for a whole morning, Yan Chang has no idea how many times he sighed.

In the lamp on the low table on the bed, the candle had only melted a little. It was not dark yet, and the prison was dark and gloomy. I didn't know what it would be like at night.

Looking up again to see the layout of the cell, except for the iron-wood railings in front, there are no windows in the rear and left and right. It is impossible to see the stars at night.

The two sword guards patrolled from the depths of the prison and then passed through the cell where Yanchang was.

The jailer's impression of Yan Chang is still a little deep. After all, he was personally escorted to the Heavenly Prison by the guards in front of the palace. There is only one possibility. some counselor.

Seeing that Yan Chang was still in a daze, the jailer also stopped and asked a question.

"This lord, did you work in the province before?"

Yan Chang looked at the two of them. As the saying goes, it is better to provoke a prime minister than a jailer. Now, he needs to look at the face of the prison guard, so he forced himself to answer with a wry smile.

"I'm not a provincial official, I was the supervisor of the Tianjian of the Taishi Division."

"Si Tianjian? Oh, is it the Master Qin Tianjian who sets the calendar?"

One of the jailers thought for a while and suddenly said.

Yan Chang was not in the mood to agree, just nodded.

The other jailer was also very curious.

"This is quite new. We have detained many former high-ranking officials in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but it is the first time that people from Sitianjian come in, especially Lord Qintianjian!"

"Well, when you say that, it seems to be true!"

The two prison guards felt very fresh. Normally, Qintian Prison is basically not in the muddy waters of the court, and a little gossip has arisen in their hearts.

"Lord Qin Tianjian, what did you do? What crime did the emperor convict?"

Anyway, I'm idle, and I don't know if I can live, and how long I can live. After a morning of decadence, I would talk to someone, and I got up when I poured out my heart, so I sat up straight.

"Do you know about the Land and Water Dharma Conference held in Beijing?"

"Then how can you not know, there is a lot of buzz in the entire capital."

Yan Chang showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"The Land and Water Dharma Conference is mainly in charge of some officials from the Heavenly Supervisor of our company and the Ministry of Rites. It is necessary to supervise and screen out some mages for the emperor, and to be conferred the position of Heavenly Master. My calamity also came from this..."

Yan Chang said slowly, and described the circumstances of why he was convicted. There is nothing that cannot be said. There are actually records in the Tianjing book, but it is relatively brief.

Hearing Yanchang finished speaking, the two jailers also looked at each other.

"This old beggar is too daring. He feels that when he said this to the emperor, he begged for his own death..."

"someone is coming."

Before one of the jailers finished speaking, the other looked out. The two of them cupped their hands towards Yan Chang and walked out quickly.

After about half a cup of tea, an unknown jailer led an old **** to Yan Chang's cell.

When Yan Changyi looked at the person, he was immediately refreshed, but he didn't know what to say.

The jailer took off the key ring around his waist, picked out a lock to unlock the cell, and then pushed open the cell door and stretched out his hand.

"Father-in-law, please!"

When the old **** entered the cell, the jailer locked the door again.

It was only at this moment that Yan Chang came back to his senses, and he also found that the old **** was carrying what looked like a food box in his hand, so he hurriedly got off the bed and bowed in salute.

"Eunuch Li, why are you here?"

The old **** put the food box on the bed and bowed respectfully to Yan Chang.

"Lord Yan hasn't had lunch yet. These are the dishes bestowed by the emperor. They are all craftsmanship from the chef of the imperial kitchen. Let's try it while it's still hot."

While talking, the old **** opened the food box, and with the smell of the food wafting, he took out the dishes inside.

Yan Chang stared blankly at these dishes. The dishes were exquisite, with fish and meat. Seeing the dishes being brought out, Yan Chang's face became more and more ugly and pale. He waited for the old **** to take out the drinks. Yan Chang's face was already pale.

"Your Majesty is going to kill me..."

Although Yan Chang rarely dealt with people from the Ministry of Punishment, he also heard a rumor that officials who were offended but not yet convicted suddenly ate extremely sumptuous dishes such as big fish and meat, most of which were guillotines.

"Master Yan, Master Yan? Your face is not very good, do you want to pass it on to the imperial doctor?"

"Eunuch Li... Is the emperor going to kill me?"

When the old **** looked at this dish, he was suddenly shocked and shook his head in disbelief.

"Lord Yan misunderstood, this is a lunch specially given by the emperor because he was afraid that he would eat badly in the prison, and there is no other meaning. After the retreat of the dynasty, the officials of the Sitianjian and the adults of the Ministry of Rites jointly came to the imperial court. The study is asking for your sympathy for Mr. Yan..."

Yan Chang heard this feeling a little unreal.

'Are they so good? No, they dare to do that? ’

When the old **** said this, he also sighed before continuing to speak.

"Actually, something happened after Mr. Yan was put into the Heavenly Prison..."

. . .

In the teahouse Qingyelou in Gyeonggi Prefecture City, in the private room on the second floor sat Jiyuan and the old beggar, as well as the little beggar who came after him. There was a pot of hot tea on the indoor table, and a total of six trays of cakes and dried fruits.

"Oh, so Mr. Lu is not accepting this apprentice?"

Ji Yuan also just finished listening to some of the events in the Nine Heavens Ten Meetings, as well as the cause and effect in the court this morning.

"I've already died once, whoever accepts it is a fool!"

The old beggar stuffed two pieces of pastry in his mouth~www.NovelMTL.com~ grunted, while the little beggar filled a piece of pastry himself and poured water for the old beggar.

"Grandpa Lu, what about Sir Yan?"

"He? Don't worry, as long as you don't act stupid, he will be fine. Now you should worry about your grandfather Lu and me."

The little beggar who had stuffed cakes in his mouth suddenly turned pale when he heard the words, and nervously ran over to the old beggar to touch it.

"Ah? Grandpa Lu, are you hurt? Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no... I don't mean this, I mean Mr. Ji Da in front of us..."

The old beggar smiled and looked at the fate of drinking tea and listening to his face as usual.

"Old beggar, I tested Emperor Dazhen this time. I can't say that I have violated Mr. Ji's taboo. This is much more dangerous than being in front of the palace's knife and axe! If there is a choice, this old beggar doesn't really want to drink it. what……"

"what?"

The little beggar looked at the always gentle plan, and then looked at the old beggar, but saw that Grandpa Lu's expression was unusually serious.

"Mr. Lu's move will inevitably cause certain turmoil to the Dazhen government and the opposition..."

Ji Yuan put down the tea cup, dragged a trace of tea to the table, and then dipped his index finger in the water to write the word "yuan".

"However, Mr. Lu has misunderstood. Dazhen has his own arrogance, and the evil and evil people have to take care of the troubles, and what the old gentleman does is neither against his heart nor against his way. It’s even more of an opportunity for the emperor, and Ji doesn’t have much to say, as long as you think it’s worth it.”

"Hey...it's really not worth it..."
